The Tool page of the T-slot operation dialog box enables you to define the tool and the related parameters for the operation.
Tool data definition
The Data tab displays the tool material, feed and speed parameters and the offset numbers used in the current operation.
Top tool offset number- this parameter defines the register number of the upper cutting face offset, in the offset table of the CNC-Machine. This option enables SolidCAM to automatically take into account the minor size differences between the defined tool and the one actually used for cutting the workpiece, if there are any. You may choose not to use this option by clearing the check box.
Length offset number – this parameter defines the number of the Length Offset Register of the current tool in the Offset table of the CNC-Machine.
